    The boys LOVING their experience at the Fresh Monkey with Allie L.
    Michael G.

    We went the other Saturday to the Fresh Monkey on the Silas Deane and Allie L. made our smoothies. Not only was Allie friendly, positive, and professional, but she made the most delicious smoothies for me and my two boys. It was my boys first time going to a Fresh Monkey and they said they loved their experience!

    Went on my lunch break for a refreshing treat and I wasn't disappointed.The service was fast and my shake was delicious. I ordered a small watermelon lemonade and I would definitely ask for the large next time , because it was so good ! My friend had a small watermelon with coconut and she loved it also.

    I ordered a lime green mango shake/smoothie this morning. There was no wait and the service was friendly. The decor - monkey and jungle themed. It had apple, apple juice, lime, mango, chia seed, flax seed, and spinach. I may have missed something. It tasted good. I noticed apple, mango and lime flavors the most. The texture was smooth, yet a bit pulpy, which is to be expected given the ingredients. I drank about a 1/3 of it and will save the rest for tomorrow. Good 4 Star experience

    Dirty Monkey

    Just a great Fresh Monkee location in my hometown of Wethersfield. Easily accessible from the highway, it is right on the Silas Deane, but also hides in plain sight. I have came here multiple times and every single visit my order comes out the same and my military discount is honored everytime no issues. I never had an issue in regard to waiting time, it is either immediately or reasonable considering the situation as sometimes it is very busy in the morning. I would say this is one of Fresh Monkee's "tighter" locations but there are a few chairs and a sofa for you to enjoy your shake. Typically I order a Dirty Monkey w/almond milk, extra scoop of vegan protein powder and no chocolate syrup. Comes out perfect every single time and this consistency is important as one time at one of their other locations the consistency was horrible and was not blended completely which did not help the situation. So yes, this is my go to Fresh Monkee location and in my own experience they are the most consistent one as well.

    Hazlenut Monkee, Snack Size

    Soon moving to the TJ Maxx plaza, this is the OG Fresh Monkee location and the staff here is just wonderful (like every other reviewer says). I thought this location was quite small compared to the new ones, so I'm happy and excited they're getting a bigger space! If you're in need of a quick, grab & go lunch while you're out running errands, The Fresh Monkee is a great choice! The protein content in the snack size fills me up and tastes like a dessert! I always go for the Hazlenut Monkee but you can't go wrong with anything PB flavored, especially if you aren't crazy about the taste of whey protein. Give this a try ASAP!

    Very comfy spot.

    My sister wanted to take me to The Fresh Monkee to try there protein drinks. All the drinks are healthy and good for you. It's perfect place to stop after you work out. The drinks are very filling and provide all the nutrients you need to sustain your energy levels and it's healthy for you after a workout or to curb your appetite. My sister ordered the Filthy Monkee and I had the Chunky Monkee. My protein drink taste like a reese cup. The workers were very gracious and welcoming and knowledgeable about all the meal Replacement Shakes the ambiance was very eclectic, comfy & cozy. They have three localocation's, Weatherfield CT, Glastonbury CT and Berlin Tnpk and there 4th location will be Southington CT 405 Queen Street. They also give you an reward card so after you purchase 8 drinks you will get one free Snack Recovery or Meal Replacement Shakes. and they offer eCard that you can use when purchasing your shakes. I will definately be returning to The Fresh Monkee.

    Are the folks at The Fresh Monkee the nicest people in Connecticut? They just might be!!! No, for real. I went to the Wethersfield location this afternoon and was very warmly greeted by the two young women working today. They helpfully explained the menu and offered up some favorite choices. I picked the chocolate pumpkin smoothie and asked for coconut milk as a substitute. I was impressed that I was told which other ingredients included some form of dairy, trace or otherwise. The finished product was perfect. My only regret was that there isn't a Fresh Monkee closer to me. Quick note, TFM is easy to miss tucked into a plaza, so slow down and look for it. You will be happy you stopped!!

    Friendly and fun spot. Staff is incredibly nice and genuinely enthusiastic about their smoothies.

    Smores smoothie
    Amie L.

    Stop in here after work the other day to pick up a smoothie since I had errands to run and wouldn't be having dinner till late. The staff member was very helpful and friendly. She happily answered all my questions. Having read the reviews before going I knew they had a 24oz smoothie size, even though it was not on the menu nor did the staff mention it. I got the 24oz smores smoothie with almond milk. It was good but had a little chalky taste from the protein powder. Please note the menu doesn't include prices and since I only got the 24oz I was thinking it would be around $4 something. Boy was I wrong. The reason I am giving them only 3 stars is mainly because I feel though the smoothie was good it was not worth the $6 and change price tag. While I did enjoy my smoothie at that price I don't think I will be back.

    PB cookies and cream
    Deana C.

    Love the idea of a meal replacement as I have the tendency to skip meals from being so busy. These smoothies are EVERYTHING! So delicious and filling which is great! What more do you ask for? I tried the PB cookies and cream snack size and it was more than enough for me. Staff was friendly and super fast.

I certainly haven't had one of their smoothies since then, nor have I stepped inside. Well last week I decided to see what's new on the menu. This Robeks' location is very tiny. It can only sit two patrons at a time. Their menu has a wide range of smoothies, juices, açaí bowls and avocado toast. I decided to go for the toast with peanut butter and banana. There were only two people working here, they weren't particularly friendly. They did make what I requested. The bread was a very generous slice of toasted Sourdough Bread. I certainly hope it came from The Hartford Baking Company, which is next door from this Robeks, but I don't think it did. There was an equally generous spreading of peanut butter, followed by sliced banana, honey and chia seeds. It arrived in a to go container. Which is wasteful, since I planned on sitting inside. This was pretty delicious! I love peanut butter with banana, it's sweet and nutty! This was $6.99. Their other options of toast also look pretty tasty! If you like juices, smoothies, and the similar, stop by Robeks and give them a try!

He is a tough critic when we go to other smoothie places. I don't usually opt into getting a smoothie myself because of my strawberry allergy. Most of their smoothies have strawberry in them. This location in Newington, went above and beyond. The staff were able to swap out the strawberries for another fruit! They were so kind and helpful. I got the Pineapple Surf, replacing the strawberries for raspberries! I don't know if all Smoothie King locations would make this accommodation and if you are highly allergic to something, take precaution for chances or cross contamination. It was just nice to enjoy a smoothie! We return to this location often because we are always in the area. Last time, I learned they had a special menu that the shop put together. The smoothies were dessert themed and I got Blueberry Cobbler--which didn't have any strawberry. This Smoothie King's service is always fast, never too busy even in summer, the shop is cool, and very clean. Without a doubt, we will be back soon since we are always in the area. It's been a must this summer.
